So you finally reached that elusive 100 followers goal that you have worked so hard to reach. Then comes the wait for the email to say that you have been approved and you can get started. All the while, you continue to build connections and read and respond and grow as you wait for that email notification to ring.

Then it comes! Oh, the sound of acceptance! You start choosing which stories will be deemed paywall-worthy.

What happens next?

Views and reads come to a screeching halt.

You start to wonder… did I do something wrong? Are my thoughts not worthy of the paywall?

What is a writer to do? I guess keep writing and making connections with the wonderful people here on Medium. What will be will be.
